The Premier League stars hugged their beaming boss in a heartwarming moment following Bryan Mbeumo's opening goal. Mbeumo had given the Bees an 86th-minute lead, but after Dominic Solanke's leveller shortly after it took a 95th-winner from Yoane Wissa to seal the three points in breathless fashion.

Bournemouth 1-2: Brentford: The Bees steal late win thanks to Yoane Wissa's stoppage time winner at the Vitality Stadium

DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: Brentford maintained their 10-year run without a league defeat by Bournemouth in truly dramatic fashion with a late 2-1 win, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa sinking the Cherries either side of Dominic Solanke's 19th strike of the season. Mbeumo scored his 50th goal for the club on 86 minutes before Solanke's headed equaliser looked to have sealed an impressive 49th point for the Cherries in their bid for a top-half finish. But Wissa's emphatic finish from close range left the hosts with nothing to show for their efforts following this gut-wrenching defeat, having twice seen goals disallowed for Solanke.

Luton 1-5 Brentford: Yoane Wissa scores first half brace as Rob Edwards' relegation-threatened side suffer heavy defeat against rampant Bees

DOMINIC HOGAN AT KENILWORTH ROAD: If Brentford were ugly in beating Sheffield United for their first win since January, they were anything but at Luton on Saturday to make it successive victories for the first time since November. So often this season Bryan Mbeumo has proven the answer to where Brentford's threat comes in the absence of Ivan Toney, and in the 5-1 thrashing at Kenilworth Road his three assists ensured the old adage about London buses would live on. Yoane Wissa was lethal for his first-half brace and deserves plenty of plaudits for his role in further banishing the creeping tendrils of relegation, but Mbeumo was brilliant value for his title of tormentor-in-chief.

Brentford 0-0 Brighton: Roberto De Zerbi's side suffer setback in race for Europe after blunt draw at Thomas Frank's Bees

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 3, 2024
PATEL AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Brighton cheaply gave the ball away midway through the second half, and Roberto De Zerbi sank to the ground of his dugout in utter annoyance. This was the kind of evening that sums up Brighton's injury-plagued season's inconsistency in a week where his team reported record earnings, where he has been linked to the Bayern Munich job, and provisionally ruled out of contention for the Liverpool vacancy. With owner Tony Bloom in the away game, as well as customary whenever they face Brentford owner Paul Benham, he would have seen a team playing with a distinctive style and certainly not lacking quality in the final third, but certainly not lacking quality. They haven't won consecutive games in the Premier League since September, and the chances are that if they can't stitch a run together between now and May, there will be no European trips next season. You only really appreciate something when it's gone. De Zerbi has made it clear that Brighton's aspirations will match his, so perhaps the same can be said about him.

ISAAN KHAN: It was hard to watch as Aaron Ramsdale flunked his last chance with Arsenal - you can only hope he regains his confidence elsewhere

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 10, 2024
What a sad conclusion if this is to be Aaron Ramsdale's final act. Kai Havertz may have been even worse if he had not come to his rescue with an 86th-minute winner to see off Brentford. In the first-half stoppage time, Ramsdale's nightmare moment occurred when Gabriel's pass trickled along the floor to him. The goalkeeper's right leg cocked back for a long time, allowing Yoane Wissa to play a slide tackle and deflect the attempted clearance into the air. It was bad.

David Raya, Arteta's No. 1, was ineligible to face his parent club at the Emirates, giving him his first appearance in the Premier League this season. However, he was left red-faced after allowing Yoane Wissa to equalize late in the first half, a mistake that put him into the spotlight and canceled out Declan Rice's opener. Ramsdale collected a back pass and seemed to hoist clear as Arsenal continue to rise to the top of the table ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City. Wissa was keen to attack him and demand that the clearance be cleared, but the stopper was unable to stop the ball from spinning into the air and over the line.

Brentford's Yoane Wissa scored a spectacular bicycle kick to put the team up against west London rivals Chelsea. Nicolas Jackson had led the Blues in the first half with a header before Mads Roerslev's equalizer five minutes after the break. Reguillon gave a cross into the box at 69 minutes and Chelsea failed to properly open their lines properly before Wissa pounced with a super bike kick to put the Bees up 2-1.

KIERAN GILL AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Brentford piled on Mauricio Pochettino by holding Chelsea to a 2-2 draw in the West London derby, putting further emphasis on him. The Blues grew stronger and took the lead right after the hour thanks to a Nicolas Jackson header, but the Bees defeated the Blues in the second period. Mads Roerslev's second half goals, as well as a stunning overhead kick from Yoane Wissa, seemed to have secured the home team the victory. However, Chelsea's Axel Disasi salvaged a point for Chelsea with a goal seven minutes from time.

IVAN TONEY WATCH: Brentford's striker proves that his return from an eight-month suspension was worth the hype... his performance demonstrated why he is so popular and why Thomas Frank is desperate to keep him

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 20, 2024
PATEL AADEL AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: And while Thomas Frank insisted that the team be retained, the team's attention was diverted, to Toney, who was 'one of eleven' yet an important 'one,' even Brentford could not avoid being pulled into the excitement of his return. The last week featured more than a showbiz angle, exemplified by the pre-match scenes. But hey, when it was time for the football, Toney led from the front and demonstrated why it was worth the hype and wait.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT THE AMEX STADIUM: Jack Hinshelwood will not have been better 60 seconds than the one that ended with him as Brighton's match-winning champion, as minutes in his fledgling career go. When Yoane Wissa's shot shot towards the bottom corner, the teen academy product's big moment came quickly, starting with a goal-line clearance to save his team. Seconds later, he found himself in the right place at the right time at the other end, when he took the lead in Pascal Gross's cross.

It's a pattern that they have followed since being moved from a back three to a back four depending on the opposition's strength.

OLI GAMP AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Thomas Frank's men were strong here and may have scored five or six points, but you can bet they would have bitten your hand off for the 3-0 win that they ended up with. Before two spectacular long-range performances from Bryan Mbeumo and replacement Saman Ghoddos, they had put them in control before a much-needed confidence booster.

Can 'wasteful' Everton cause an upset at Liverpool, will leaders Tottenham stake a claim as title contenders - and how will the Sandro Tonali saga affect Newcastle?TEN REASONS to be excited as the Premier League returns

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 19, 2023
The Premier League has returned after a two-week international break that saw several countries secure their positions in Euro 2024. Tottenham Hotspur has been the surprise early season pacesetters at the top, with eight games remaining in the season, while Bournemouth and Southampton looking to fail at the bottom. The table will begin to shape in the next few months, and it seems that the forthcoming four weeks of action before the November international break will give a good idea of who is likely to be fighting for glory and which teams are preparing for a long and difficult relegation battle.

Can Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana return to form against Brentford today? In a crucial Premier League match, Erik ten Hag's No. 1 is 17/2 to make six or more saves

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 7, 2023
Many are expecting Andre Onana to be tumultuous again when United faces Brentford at Old Trafford today - he is odds-on at 5/6 to have three or more saves. If you're looking for a unique way to celebrate Onana by the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, you'll be charged 15/8, 4/1, and 172 respectively for a total of 4+, 5+, or 6+ saves respectively. However, with the way Rasmus Hojlund is currently on, don't be concerned if Brentford's keep Mark Flekken has plenty to do during the 90 minutes.

As he expressed his dissatisfaction with Nottingham Forest's decision to send Moussa Niakhate off against Brentford, Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper asks for referees to improve their results

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 1, 2023
After another Premier League match day marred by official's rulings, Steve Cooper ordered referees to elevate their results. Cooper's Nottingham Forest side were cut to ten men but they bounced back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Brentford, but the focus was once more on referee Paul Tierney and VAR. Brentford may have had three penalties, first for possible handballs by Nicolas Dominguez and Willy Boly, and then, when goalkeeper Matt Turner appeared to foul Yoane Wissa, Cooper was furious that Moussa Niakhate was given a second yellow card soon after halftime.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Brentford: Nicolas Dominguez rescues a point for the hosts on his home debut after Christian Norgaard gave Bees the lead with flicked header

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 1, 2023
TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE CITY GROUND: During this match, VAR stood out among the many storylines running, and they were able to win it all. The video equipment is supposed to eliminate controversy, but it has only raised it, with Brentford getting a raw deal this time. The Bees may have had two penalties on another day. In a first-half stoppage time, the ball clipped Forest midfielder Nicolas Dominguez's hand as he jumped with arms outstretched, and a second shortly after the break for goalkeeper Matt Turner's challenge on Yoane Wissa. Dominguez was not disciplined because his hand was deemed to be close enough to his body when he leapt, but Turner's lunge at Wissa was checked and cleared.

Bryan Mbeumo scored a brace against Fulham last month - and he is 10/1 to do so again when Brentford host struggling Everton on Saturday

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 22, 2023
With the Cameroonian 10/1 to score 2+ and 66/1, it is Bryan Mbeumo, the lowest-priced player from either team to score more than a goal, as well as scoring three or more. He is closely followed by teammate Yoane Wissa, who is 11/1 and 66/1. Unsurprisingly, it's now Mbeumo and Wissa who are the cheapest players in the game, with the pair both winning odds of 13/8. Frank Onyeka is the most popular in the 'player to be carded' market, followed by Kevin Schade (2/1) and Aaron Hickey (9/4).
